iR:achero sure of blaxlimilian'a Death-
Cruelties of ihe Juarist Leaders-Ambu
lauce upset by a Gvot of wind
The Ranchero of the 25th May
say :
We make no doubt that Maximil
iian was shot on the evening ot the
16th instanit, as reported by us yes
terday.
The same pter states that there
was a feast and a hfrlic in Mata
imores on the 24th over the fall of
Qucretaro. The Ranchero says with
great Litterness : We need not ask
if anybody got drunk, for the whole
nation is drunk upon the blood of
murdered victims.
An ambulance running from Bra.
zos to Brownsville was upset a few
days ago, by a violent gust of wind,
and the passengers all spilled. into
the mud.
A battallion of Mexican troops,
stationed at Matamoros, were out
for parade and review on the 16th 1
ult. Their appearance is reportea
to have been excellent and soldierly,
their revolutions prompt ant skill
ful, and their drill unsurpaseed.
WHOLeSALE SLtacGnaiR.--The Ran
chero collect from private correspon
dence a few data regarding the
barbarity of the Mexican Liberalists.
Alter the surrender of Puebla, forty
two officers of the Imperial forces
were executed. On the following
day, twe;ity-nine others were slaugh
tered. Since that tiqie, says the
Ranchero, those cruel men have
kept their war god appeased by
homeopathic treatment ; but his ap
petite will demand a glutton's meal
when M[ax. and his faithful band
shall be ready for serving up.
The same paper states that Esco
bedo murdered one hundred and
fo;rty-nine prisoners of war taken in
the unhappy engagement with Mirs
amoen. They were most all old and
tried soldiers, who, having finished
their time of service in Mexico, had
engaged in the Imperial army.
Five French merchants in Guada
lajara have been thrown in the ditch
es and literally hacked to pieces
with machetes. Escobedo has also
muirdered severed notable Mexicans,
partisans of the empire.
Porfiiio ltiaz caused the execu
tion of M. Franco, the imperial pre.
feet at Oajaca, who whilst serving
h as prefect of Puebla, when Diaz was
a prisoner, had treated him with
great kindness and loaned himr large
sums of money. M. Franco was
brother-in-.l.&w to Mr. Carranizar,
imperial miinistrr to Russia.
SEtzrk E O AnIM.-- We find the
following in the Raulehero of the
15th ult: The ship load of arms re
oently shipped Irom New York to
' Tampico for the Liberals, upon
reacthig prt, wer seized( by Cta
nalea and Gomez. These chieftains
in force, are said to be directing
their steps towards Matamoros.

f important news of the( fall of Que;e
a taro, awl of Maximilian being a pri
c soner. The Prelnza and Diaro publish
S letters firn,. Vera Cruz which do not

t many doubt the authenticity of the

The State of Parties in Louisiana- la
Threatened Defection in the Republican '
Rlanks. hi
It is beyond contradiction that
there are, at the present time, two is
Republican parties in Louisiana, no t;
matter what claims to unity the et
branch eomposed mostly of white hI
citizens may set forth It is true si
that as yet there is no open rupture, rI
but there is, apparenttly, a discord- cl
ance which cannot be healed except h
by great concessions on the part of 6
the white Republicans. The fac
tions are already known as and have fi
accepted the titles of the "Radical n
Republican Party," which is the one a
that demands not only acknowledged t(
rights of citizenlship for the black
man, but the fullest privileges of the a
eitizrii-the rights to hold office and I]
sit on juries. Nothing less than this Ii
will be regarded as the fruition of' t
the Suffrage bill by the negro race c
a:td those who thoroughly sympa- a
thize with them. On the other hand, t,
thlise who call themselves the t
"Union ]Republican Party," while a
willing to cinc-de suffrage to the
colored race, it is said, evince no a
disposition to extend the right toi1
hold office. Neither to the Board oef
R'egistr :rs or -,to the police, which a
is now lbeing reondelled by Gen. t
Sheridan's ortder, nor to any other n
office has a collorci man been ap- 1
pointed in this city, although the
Republicans are in the asceenlant.
Mayor Heath appoints a iumber of
[:olicemien every day in confortmnity
with Sheridan's orders, yet nlle ol
the negro race has becu put on the a
forcs. This is resented by the ne
groes, and they thrhaten to split off
from the party, which they assertr
shows a disposition to elevate a few I
individuals by the colored mran'st
vote and leave to him only the bar
ren right of citizenship, without its
advantages.--.N. Y. Herald.
TilE COUNIG WRI IN EUROPE.
Earl Derby has graciously informed "ad,
lords," in the upp r house of Pa, liameot,
that the benign interposition ot the En
g ish Government has removed the danger I
of war between France and Prussia. The
,isputnd duchy of Luxemburg is to be
neutralized. Prussia is to retire from Lux
embirg fortress,, and tha;t st,'ronghold is to
be dismantled and ibandoned.
And. so, Ceace is to be secured in Eu
rope. they say! Preposterous delusion!
The late t ongres4 of Great, and Little
Powers, at L.ondon. or Westminister, ha,
dealt o, ly w.th the incidental question of
Luxemburg. The re are plenty of other
questions b tweeu France and Prussia
and, under-lying all of ihem, is the stain
questin, which of the two, henceforth, is
tobe the controlling power in Europe!
This, of course, is a question that can be
settled only by the arbutram'nt of war.
It is a mouroful conclusion. The welfare
of the people will not be much affected
whichever of these power. triumphs. The
war that is to decide the question,
will bring premature and sudden death to
tens of thousands. But this is the lot of
min in his falling condition.
Allthe progno-ticalions of peace to be
prreserved are false ' here is going to be
a war between France and Prussia, for the
hegemony of Emroe it will be a bloody
war, bhut not a long one. Both France and
Prussia are too advanced in civilization to
adopt Ulysses 8 Grant's -'grand tactics"
of hurling immense mnrses of imperfectly
trainid men against each other to be
butchered, and thinking the ay's work
the greatest in which he could send to the
indecent and hearles joke in Washington
the most enormous catalogue of human
slaughter. Tactics away ahead ot West
Point engineering will guide the coming
war. The forces that will met, on either
side of the Rlhine, will be of men t ained,
not simply to kill and be killed, but after
a battle, on one side or the other, to be
able to reap thefruits of the battle.
Looking un, at a distance, we think that
all theprobabilities favor the success of
France. It would be laughable, were the
matter not so serius. to heir of Prussia

What a disadvantage Prussia will labor
under in the naval department! 8he has

Snas! France, whose war marine is the
et in Europe, exceeds her tea to onea, and
can hermetically seal all her seaports.
And. besides. for soldiery, and for the
Smost advanced offcering, the Ftench army
has not its equal in the world. All the
o leat battles of the world have been won
by a omparatively small number of men,

IRON.CLaDS IN EIlRIPE.

WeBB, for the iron -clad rani Dmn

ful vessel of that class ever con
strueted. She was built for the Uni
ted States, and has been sold witht
consent of our Naval Department.
France now possesses the largest
fleet of iron-clade of all classes in
Europe, and the unceasing activity
in her ship-yards shows a continni
ous desire to rinaintain this arm of
offence and defence in like superior
ity, England, though making great
exertions, at vast cost, is far behind
France in this respect, and her once
famous "wooden walls" are univer
sally cunsidered as valueless, in
warfare. In fact, the time has pass
ed in which the popular refrain
telling how "Britannia rules tirhe
waves" was a reality Prussia,
which has lately added so largely to
her seaboard. has resolved to have a
